Ems-Jade Canal
The canal cuts across the landscape in long straight reaches, passing Aurich on its way between Emden and Wilhelmshaven and giving the flat map a clear, deliberate line.

The map
Aurich stands in the middle of East Frisia in Lower Saxony, far enough inland to be surrounded by level farmland, moor and scattered woods rather than dykes and tidal flats. From above, the historic centre is a compact oval of streets around the market place. Roads radiate out across the countryside to villages and to the coastal towns of the region.
For centuries Aurich was the seat of the East Frisian counts and later princes, and the castle and its grounds still sit close to the centre. The Ems-Jade Canal passes the town, a nineteenth-century waterway linking Emden and Wilhelmshaven. Just outside Aurich lies the Upstalsboom, the hill where representatives of the Frisian lands met in the Middle Ages.
An Aurich map poster brings out the geometry of a lowland town: the canal as a ruled line, the looser network of roads fanning outward, and the rectangular field patterns that begin at the edge of the built-up area. Without hills or a coast to dominate the frame, the street plan itself becomes the subject.
The canal cuts across the landscape in long straight reaches, passing Aurich on its way between Emden and Wilhelmshaven and giving the flat map a clear, deliberate line.
The former residence of the East Frisian rulers lies beside the old town, where the market place and surrounding streets form the densest part of the plan.
Roads leave the centre in every direction toward the villages of East Frisia, drawing a star-like pattern that fades into open farmland and moor.
